Château Palmer 1982
Cantenac (Margaux), 3ème cru classé
In original wooden cases. Gallaire et Fils slip labels. Lot 354: slightly worn capsules, slightly damaged labels. Levels: one base of neck, nine top-shoulder, two upper-shoulder. Lot 355 slightly damaged labels. Levels: two base of neck, six top-shoulder, four upper-shoulder
Tasting note: Curiously unimpressive in its youth, and variable notes from mid-1980s to mid-1990s, ‘lacking finesse and charm’. Yet two very good recent notes. In 2003: harmonious, attractive bouquet’, smooth, mature Margaux texture. Good flavour. Dry finish. Most recently (cork pulled 5.15 pm, decanted and tasted 5.30 pm, served at 8.45 pm): good nose; sweet, delicious flavour, touch of astringency. Last tasted Dec 2004 **** just. M.B.
